Job 2:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, they came, each one from his own place—Eliphaz the (A)Temanite, Bildad the (B)Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to (C)sympathize with him and comfort him. 12 When they [a]looked from a distance and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them (D)tore his robe, and they (E)threw dust over their heads toward the sky. 13 (F)Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights, with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

And they raised their voices and wept, and they (E)tore their robes and sprinkled (F)dust on their heads toward heaven. 13 And they sat with him on the ground (G)seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.
